Just set a 4x4 in the bed in front of the camper.

Lucas the Prince of Darkness

It was also felt in Shaver Lake.

My 2006 FWC has a battery separator on the drivers side of the water tank near the pump as shown in Stan's post. I think was standard that year if you ordered the battery option.

From reading the Pacbrake literature it looks like the 12V Cummins engines need the upgraded exhaust valve springs while the 24V don't. I've never had any problems with the exhaust brake on my stock 24V Cummins.

TF130 DC. If your camper has an AC to DC converter you don't need to spent the extra $100 for the AC/DC model.

I have a 130L front opening Truckfridge that I've been happy with. Same as the Isotherm but cheaper.

Having a diesel w/exhaust brake and manual trans I engine brake all the time. When driving my Jeep on loose steep trails I find engine braking much more stable than having a wheel lock up with normal braking. In all cases both systems must be used in conjunction wisely.

Sorry to see you've sold your rig Jim. I hope you can replace it with something comfortable that will get you to Saline Valley. Dick

I once read a book titled "How To **** In The Woods" which covered all this in detail. My favorite part was the description of the Groover used by river rafters.

I've been looking at SunPower and may go that way if I decide to stay with flexible panels. If I do stay with flexible panels I need to figure out some sort of attachment structure as I don't want to bond them directly to the roof. I may be able to bond them to the dead Lensun panels. My other...

I'm rereading this thread because my Lensun 100w aluminum substrate panels have failed. I was in the Owens Valley Memorial Day weekend with plenty of direct sunlight and my 300w of solar couldn't keep up with the 12v fridge. I have 2 100w Lensun semi flex panels and a 100w rigid Renogy panel...

We did just that and left it there. My friend thought about taking it home but that was just creepy plus there was the possibility of Federale checkpoints and border crossing inspection.

We once came across a human skull in the El Gulfo dunes.

I'm off to have some fun. I've been doing a family/friends Owens Valley camping trip for over 40 years and don't plan to stop now. Our designated camp spot is remote enough to not have any other campers.

Tonopah Historic Mining Park is one of my favorites and if you're in town also check out the Central Nevada Museum. https://www.tonopahminingpark.com/ https://www.centralnevadamuseum.com/

That could be a good solution but I would be concerned about "fooling" the sail switch into thinking there is sufficient air flow to exhaust the combustion gases and keep the combustion box from failing.

Get the MOJAVE ROAD GUIDE by Dennis Casebier it will give you all directions and history. Afton Canyon is a marked exit off I-15 and Peggy Sue"s is an old time diner a couple miles out of Barstow.

I used a standard Kohler single handle / single hole kitchen faucet and installed a soap dispenser in the second hole. These faucets are available in different reaches so now the outlet is centered in the sink. The original FWC faucet outlet was too close to the back edge of the sink resulting...

Have you thought of using 2 tie down mounting points at the front of the camper. One to the jack bracket to control vertical motion and one to the floor pack to control horizontal motion. I would think most of the load would be vertical and the small horizontal component would not harm the...

I got my appointment last night for a May 14th vaccination. Being over 75 here in Santa Barbara County puts you right at the top of the list. I'm just not sure what list.

I took Jack's advice and went ahead and bought the new long range battery sense and it seems to be working so far.

Anyone have any trouble getting this to pair with your Victron controller? A couple of years ago I switched to a lithium battery and added a Victron Smart Battery Sense as a low temperature protection. At that time the physical installation was easy but the programming and bluetooth pairing was...

I have problems with those screws coming loose on my camper. They are going into the edge of the plywood floor pack and plywood doesn't do well holding screws in that direction. I took screws out and filled the holes with glue and toothpicks which seems to hold better.

Then there was the Big Pink house in West Saugerties New York where The Band and Dylan's Basement tapes were recorded.
